Seems like some things never change. Got a letter from our daughter saying she was going out with son Duncan on his morning paper route because "it's so cold and dark for him to go out alone at that hour 16 a.m. I ". Fifteen years ago, I was doing the same thing. 1 remember when the newspaper, promoter came around to talk to us about the boys taking on paper routes, ... It Seems R to me... by �. . Gwyn Whilsmith he assured up, "A paper route is a wonderful character builder." How right he was. My sons' paper routes developed my character more than I can say. I learned control. When they slept. through the explosion of the 5:30 a.m. alarm, I learned not to scream but to get up and nudge them gently out of their warm beds. I discovered how to keep my cool when irate customers phoned because their paper was late or, worse still, thrown in a puddle. I managed to learn how to restrain myself when the man called to collect, and the boys were $5.29 short. And somehow or other I even learn- ed how to curb my temper when one of them rushed home to grab the newspaper right out of my hands (even though I was in the middle of Anne Landers ) to fill in for the one he was short, that morning. As it -turned out, it was good for my muscles, too. Many a morning, when the flu bug laid one of them low, I hoisted on the heavy bag, myself, to plow through snow up past my pan- tyhose because those newspapers had to get through. One summer, when our youngest was going off to camp, he invited me to take over his route for two weeks because "You know the route, Mom, and I won't have to pay you." The first morning, I stumbled out on the job unwashed, uncombed and barely awake. Just as I was loading my bundle into the front seat of the car (I whizzed the papers around while Dad ate breakfast), another car drove along side. One of the most beautifully coiffured and made-up creatures I have even laid my eyes on leaned out the window and in the most reposeful voice asked the way to Kirkton. (Please keep in mind this wa i. .I_ , - I never discovered whether she was just ending her day or starting it, but the sight of her beautiful made-up face at that early hour shocked me in- to pulling a comb through my hair and smudging on a little lipstick before starting out on the route next morning. Of course, a paper route is good for kids as well as for their mothers. It does teach dependibility as they learn Artist's -work now on display The Blyth Festival Art Gallery will be exhibiting the work of Grand Bend artist Puck Merkies during February and Mary 1985.
